Life is Art
My life, as a mother / lover / writer / seamstress / cook. Whew.
Life is Art is Kelly Hogaboom in small, digestible bits.
Featured Project: Bike Chaps
This design was actually entered in the Etsy/Instructables Sew Useful contest. These are functional, cheap to make, and sold on Etsy within an hour or so.

one of those ways people think I'm a Good Mommy, but I'm actually a Bad One

Today after a breakfast out (I begged Ralph and he only begrudgingly agreed) we took the family to Slobberdale so I could buy fabric. Because I am a huge frakin' sewing dork. This year for Halloween my daughter is going to be a Corpse Bride so I have to get crackin' (Nels' "Ice Bat" is all done). I just got home with my fabrics and pattern, threw the kids in bed, washed the fabric while cutting out the pattern:
(Butterick 4887) for her gown. I'm doing a lace overlay and a tulle peplum and currently cutting out tulle and it's really, really weird stuff. Oh, should this be going on my sewing blog? Too fucken bad!
In other news, ever since Girls' Movie Night (v. October '06) I can't stop thinking about Patrick Swayze. And not in a pervy way, either. More an intrigued way. Why doesn't he work much these days? Why has he aged less like a person and more like a sleek rock formation? How did he get away with his hair for so long? Why doesn't he have a better ass? I just told Ralph to go rent me another Swayze film - I gave him a trifecta of choices in order of my preference. "And," I said, "If those three are all out, then someone in this town loves Swayze more than us - and we should just back off."
